Sex-with-boys mom back in trouble: porn

A woman who was sent to prison for having sex with two underage boys in Livermore, including one who was dating her teenage daughter, was caught with pornography five days after her release and jailed for allegedly violating her parole, authorities said Tuesday.

Christine Shreeve Hubbs, 44, who was released from prison Feb. 10, was arrested late Friday during a surprise compliance visit by state parole agents to her Hayward home, said parole spokesman Fred Bridgewater. She is being held without bail at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin.

Bridgewater said that there was no indication the pornography involved children but that Hubbs is not allowed to possess any pornography under the conditions of her parole. If the state pursues sanctions, she has a right to a parole hearing within 10 days.

She was sentenced to a five-year prison term and required to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life after pleading no contest in 2011 to one count of unlawful sex with a minor and three counts of lewd acts with a child.

Police said Hubbs had improper contact with the boys from 2008 to 2010, when they were as young as 14. On several occasions, investigators said, she drove them in her Hummer to locations in Livermore to engage in sex acts.

Hubbs first made an advance to one of the boys when he was dating her daughter, authorities said. She was accused of giving that boy cash, expensive gifts and cell phones to maintain contact with her.

Police said they learned of the crimes when a mother of one of the boys reported finding a nude photo of Hubbs on his phone.

In exchange for Hubbs’ no-contest plea, prosecutors dropped 63 other felony sex counts and several misdemeanor counts related to an incident in which she allegedly bought pellet and water guns for several boys and drove them around as they fired at bystanders from the Hummer.

After Hubbs was arrested Friday, her two children and their friends allegedly used Facebook and Twitter to harass and threaten Hubbs’ original victims in Livermore, perhaps under the mistaken belief that they had provided information that led to the arrest, authorities said.

One of the boys, who is now 17, reported the social-media messages and said he was scared. That prompted Livermore police to assign two detectives to find out who was involved and whether the messages constituted criminal threats or cyberbullying, said Officer Steve Goard, a department spokesman.

He said Livermore school officials had been notified of the investigation and were working with police. No one has been charged in connection with the alleged harassment.

“We thought 2½ years ago that this was done,” Goard said. “What we’re puzzled most about is how her arrest suddenly made the two boys a target. … We’re curious if this was initiated by Christine. Did she call and tell her family, ‘Hey, this is all the boys’ fault, they should pay’?”

Hubbs’ family has moved out of Alameda County, but Hubbs — who as a parolee sex offender has to wear a GPS ankle monitor — must remain in the county unless given special permission, authorities said. She is also barred from returning to Livermore.
